Because of its age, the book has been adapted many times and has specific rules about meeting processes, making it confusing to many. The following guide serves as a cheat sheet for running  \neffective meetings.  \nMEETING STRUCTURE  \nThe following outlines the structure of a typical meeting using this method.  \n• Call to order.  \n• Roll call of members present (voting delegate to respond) .  \n• Reading of the minutes of the last meeting.  \n• Meeting leader typically will ask if there are any additions or changes to the minutes.  \n• This typically will be followed by a vote to approve the minutes.  \n• Officers’reports  \n• These are simply updates and do not include votes.  \n• Committee reports  \n• These also are updates and do not include votes.  \n• Old business  \n• This is important business previously planned for discussion at the current meeting.  \n• This can include items that were discussed at the last meeting, but more information was needed or they weren’t on the agenda for a vote.  \n• Old business can include votes.  \n• New business  \n• Any new business or resolutions before the body that requires a vote.  \n• This must also include a description on the agenda.  \n• Announcements  \n• These are announcements from the body, but do not include votes.  \n• Adjournment  \n• The meeting leader will move for adjournment, signifying the end of the meeting.  \nTYPES OF MOTIONS  \nMotions are typical methods used by members of a body to express themselves during a meeting. A motion is a proposal that the entire membership can take action on. There are six basic types of motions:  \n• Main Motions:  \n• Introduces items to the membership for their consideration.  \n• They cannot be made when any other motion is on the floor.  \n• Subsidiary Motions:  \n• Change or affect how a main motion is handled, and is voted on before a main motion.  \n• Privileged Motions:  \n• Bring up items that are urgent about special or important matters unrelated topending business.  \n• Incidental Motions:  \n• Provide a means of questioning procedure concerning other motions and must be considered before the other motion.  \n• Motion to Table:  \n• Used in the attempt to \"kill\" a motion.  \n• Motion to Postpone:  \n• This is often used as a means of parliamentary strategy and allows opponents of motion to test their strength without an actual vote being taken.  \n• Also, debate is once again open on the main motion.  \n• This can be a postponement until a set date or indefinitely.  \nHOW TO PRESENT A MOTION  \nMotions are presented by:  \n• Obtaining the floor  \n• Wait until the last speaker has finished.  \n• Rise and address the Chairman by saying, \"Mr. (or Ms. ) Chairman\"  \n• Wait until the Chairman recognizes you.  \n• Make Your Motion using“I move that we…”  \n• Wait for Someone to Second Your Motion  \n• Another member can second your motion or the Chairman will call for a second.  \n• If there is no second to your motion, it is lost.  \n\n| Parliamentary Procedure At A Glance-your guide of what to say and when to say it… |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| TO DO THIS: | YOU SAY THIS | May you\u003Cbr>interrupt\u003Cbr>the\u003Cbr>speaker? | Do you need a second? | Is it\u003Cbr>debatable\u003Cbr>? | Can it be\u003Cbr>amended\u003Cbr>? | What vote is needed\u003Cbr>? | Can it be\u003Cbr>reconsidered? |\n| Adjourn\u003Cbr>Meeting | “I move toadjourn.” | NO | YES | NO | NO | Majority | NO |\n| Call an\u003Cbr>Intermission | “I move to\u003Cbr>recess\u003Cbr>for…” | NO | YES | NO | YES | Majority | NO |\n| Complain about heat, noise, etc. | “I rise to a question of privilege.” | YES | NO | NO | NO | No Vote | NO |\n| Temporarily\u003Cbr>suspend\u003Cbr>considering an issue | “I move to lay the motion on the table.” | NO | YES | NO | NO | Majority | NO |\n| End debate\u003Cbr>","cbCaimVrDwBA1seJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimVrDwBA1seJ","pdf",119602,"English","# Meeting Structure\n# Types of Motions\n# How to Present a Motion\n# Motions at a Glance","[{\"question\":\"What is the basic structure of a typical meeting under Roberts Rules of Order?\",\"answer\":\"It includes call to order, roll call, reading and approving minutes, officers’ and committee reports, old business, new business, announcements, and adjournment.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the six basic types of motions covered in the cheat sheet?\",\"answer\":\"Main motions, subsidiary motions, privileged motions, incidental motions, the motion to table, and the motion to postpone.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you present and get a motion considered at the meeting?\",\"answer\":\"Obtain the floor, wait for the last speaker, address the chairman, wait to be recognized, make the motion using “I move that we…”, and secure a second.\"}]","Roberts Rules of Order - Cheat Sheet - Parliamentary Meeting Guide | PDF",1791928224]
